  3. fair enough... a fiver with shipping then? WOOF!
  4. yes, common early number, a five quidder.... WOOF!
  5. Watch it , Potter! LOL WOOF!
  6. What about a UK Mums demo? I got mine in a trade for a pair of Big E Levis..... WOOF!
  7. back on topic.... kenard3 on eBay (check out his feedback here.. https://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws1/eBayISAPI.d...&userid=kenard3 ) ...... Yo Willies Records. Loses records, forgets to send refunds or sends trashed records..... Purchase from them at your own risk.... WOOF!
  8. Explaination of Popcorn here------- https://www.markstewart.karoo.net/popcorn.htm WOOF!
  9. No, not saying you shouldn't do it.... Just a realist / passing on my experiences. Would underline the fact that people need to pop a sticker / their name on the disc, as theres nothing as frustrating as liking a track and having to search through loads of tracklistings until you find it.... WOOF!
  10. Be prepared for the following: - You may only receive 50 - 75% of the CDs. - Someone will delay the whole thing by only deciding to record the cds the day they are due out. - Someone will delay the swap by having technical difficulties/p.c problems/not owning a cd burner and having to borrow a mates. - The odd cd will turn up that doesn't play. - You will receive a cd that you know everything on. - You will get a cd that has been compiled from poorly recorded mp3s/ras so sound will be terrible. And this is now the reason why i wont get involved in these swaps anymore.... they always disappoint me.... better to record a cd and do straight one to one swaps.....after seeing the tracklisting. WOOF!
  11. All a bunch of non-genres really.... all quite hard to define but heres my attempt...... Popcorn. Tunes played on the Belgian Popcorn scene..... strictly mid-tempo... can be soul or pop ballads (amongst loads of other genres like Latin and Cha Cha music). Cross-over. Late sixties tracks that sound more seventies.... and early 70s tracks that sound more sixties.... again, more midtempo stuff included ( the cynical would say it was a genre made up to sell all the records that nobody wanted). Beach. Music played on the Beach Music scene in the U.S. (Mainly the Carolinas). Includes a lot of soul and white covers of soul amongst other pop oldies. Deep funk. Style of Funk played by Keb Darge at the 'Deep Funk' nights.... now includes loads of Modern Soul and Disco.... getting to the point where the Funk will soon be defunct.... Two-step. Walking pace tracks..... mainly Modern and mainly dull as ditch water.... a very London type collecting scene. Hope that helps. WOOF!
  12. Already has.... the brit at Nottingham is a no smoking venue.... so you have to pop out on the roof terrace for a swift puff. Good thing too IMO..... WOOF!
  13. Ha, but i'm only refering to myself as what I am..... I think it was the word Gypo that got my goat..... he's not been the same since..... I think the book is good... it relates different periods of his career to the various labels and releases.... so a bit heavy for the casual soul fan... but a worthy tome for someone wanting to go that bit deeper... It also includes short biographies of people who were involved in his life/career.... so some good background info on people like Carl Davis, Major Lance, Donny Hathaway, Lou Pride and Holly Maxwell (Amongst others). WOOF!
  14. Just picked up a limited quantity of an excellent Biography of Curtis Mayfield........ https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1...9866521-7219615 Different cover to the one on amazon ( a nice b&w headshot) Cheapest on Amazon is £5.60 plus p&p (heading up for a tenner a copy) Fiver a copy including UK p&p on a first come first served basis........

  15. What price her version of 'Stormy' on TCA? Only ever seen the one...... sat on my shelves..... WOOF!
  16. Got mine in a trade for about a fiver...... Never heard anyone play it until I started playing it at Mod do's in 1998..... then the price steadily rose to about £25. £179..... someone wants there bloody lumps feeling. WOOF!
  17. Great record, never seen one listed so what would the 'right' price be for this one? ..... never heard the flip before... was this ever played, and if so where? WOOF!
  18. Kolla, I have a vg Avco label copy in my sales box (i have dj'ed with it and it plays ok).....Since you obviously love it but cant afford to pay top wack at the moment you can have it for a six quid including p&p..... PM me and i'll get back to you with my address...... WOOF!
  19. and me...... How are the Curtis Mayfield books going? could you use some more? WOOF!
  20. It will be the end of eBay for me if they bring in these anti snipe tools.... me paws just cannot take the amount of bidding i'd have to do.... and as for staying up till 5am to bid on an item.... no way.... i'd be dog tired the next day..... Grrrrrr! WOOF!
  21. They must be Barking Mad...... I've sniped items that had no bids and still been the third or fourth bidder.... going from $10 to $200 in the last five seconds.... WOOF!
  22. With great difficulty.....and dogged determination WOOF!
  23. Possibly a Canadian issue...... WOOF!
  24. That'll be 'Liberty' WOOF!
  25. The record was issued during the 1990s, it was produced in very limited quantities for a motown conference (they were given away to attendees) - figures quoted are between 300 and 500, most of which were allegedly left behind and skipped by the cleaners. The picture sleeve is colour, and similar in design to those from the 1960s.......
